"TRAMPLING" ON THE SONS OF GOD.
.

(Original painting by R. Thomas. 7/2/05).

The "trampling" (1) of holy anointed sons of God by apostates and other enemies as illustrated in this painting, greatly increased in Christ's congregations during the "appointed times", (2)  until these holy ones acting as a restraint against apostate wickedness were removed. (Rev 11:2.  2 Thess 2:7,8). Unsealed apostate JW 'elders' ostracized, usurped and excommunicated faithful anointed sons of God in Christ's congregations worldwide, and so are collectively described in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 as the "man of lawlessness". (NWT). Holy ones then had to prophesy in a "sackcloth" condition against this apostasy occupying the spiritual "land" of God.  (Rev 11:3).

THE "VEILS".
Figuratively speaking, these "veils" are placed over the heads of men by apostate women to thwart any attempt to come to know the Will of God. These women against whom God has prophesied, are female members of sectarian "harlot" religions putting "veils over the heads of persons of every age".  (See Ezek 13:17  23 NEB). As it was in the beginning, so it is today, the "serpent" (satan) is more able to deceive womankind.  (Gen 3:13).

The apostle Paul, to whom our Lord Jesus gave authority to spiritually instruct the congregations that they  might acquire salvation, referred to unbelievers as "veiled" and "on the way to perdition" *  (2 Cor 4:3,4 NEB).

THE "WOMAN" IN THE BARREL CARRIED TO "BABYLON".  (Zech 5:9-11).
This "woman" symbolizes wickedness, and represents the "mother" of all sectarian "harlot" religions of "Babylon the great" today. (See Rev 17:1-6). Sectarian "harlot" religions practise many kinds of demon false worship worldwide     which began in ancient Babylon centuries ago and has continued to the present day. God is now remembering and desolating Babylon/Iraq using the political "wild beast" and "ten kings" to carry it out.  (Rev 16:19 & 17:9-18).  (Click on:  Page 8/2/91).

THE CROWNED HOLY ONE WITH THE BOOK OF LIFE.
He is the one who has successfully subjected anointed ones to God, and is portrayed as rewarding one of his anointed brothers. He is The Christ Michael. The heavenly name Michael means: 'Who is like God'.  (Dan 12:1-3).

THE EXPLANATION OF (1) & (2) FROM EPHESIANS 1:10 NWT.
"Trampling" (1) on the authority of anointed sons of God during the time of the end of the systems of this "darkness" was allowed by God for a purpose. (Eph 6:12). In 1971 the "times" appointed for this commenced with the 1,290 days of Daniel 12:11 and the 2,300 "evenings and mornings" of Daniel 8:13,14, and was followed by the 1,260 days of Revelation 11:3. The "appointed times" (2) ended in 1982.  (Click on: Page 24/12/87).  These "times" were allowed to reveal those who do not have a "love of the truth" and apostatized themselves     revealed by the faithful anointed ones they had removed.  (2 Thess 2:10  12)  (NEB).

The "Flying Scroll" of Zechariah 5:1-4 is The Opened "Little Scroll" of Revelation 10:8-11 that the Lord God is using to judge those making a sworn oath to Him falsely and appropriating the position of 'elder'     spiritually "trampling" on holy ones anointed with Holy Spirit from God.  The "Little Scroll" is being used as the standard for His Judgement and the instrument by which those contemptuous of Him are refined out and abandoned.  Warnings and denunciations  have been sent to enemies of God.
